Visa Agency by mbalducci1990

Good morning,I'm looking for a reliable visa agency. I paid $275 to expat group in Medellín, but it's been 2 weeks and they operate extremely slow. They only reply to bad reviews on Google. I need the Visa V for digital nomads.

HutchX2020

@rf2023 Just a note:If you have been living in Colombia last 3 years your criminal report would come from the Policia Nacional in Colombia not your country of birth, And that can be requested online. Read More
